Tzeentch Warcry Warband

 Awhile back, I had the idea of painting up four warbands for each Chaos god in Warcry. I have tons of options for Nurgle daemons, even add in some Skaven Plague monks for variety. Slaanesh, is similar, lots of daemonettes, seekers and a couple heroes. Khorne, I have bloodletters, flesh bounds, bloodcrushers and even Karanak. 

    Now, Tzeentch is the neglected god in my collection. Just before the pandemic, I acquired a large daemon lot that had an Ogroid Thaumaturge and flamers. I didn't really have a plan for them, I was even thinking of kitbashing the Ogroid to be a Daemon Prince for one of the other gods. But the model looks sweet as is so I eventually picked up some Pink Horrors to start out a small Tzeentch force. Like most projects, it eventually was shelved for a couple months, probably 70% finished. Flash forward to now, I picked it up for a quick win.

    These Pink Horrors are prone to split on the battlefield, in Warcry you can split anytime the model has one wound on it. Not wanting to buy more miniatures, I got a bit crafty with a Dreamblade mini...

    This little fellow will be a stand in for a Brimstone Horror. I'll still need 10 Blue Horrors, if each Pink Horror splits into 2 and 10 Brimstone Horrors if all blue horrors split again. Probably unlikely, but a kitbashing I will go.

    It is the Season of Scenery, so I should actually paint some terrain....

Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game Demo Night

     I follow the local MESBG community on Facebook, which had a game night on Tuesdays. Josh recently changed the day to Wednesday to see if more people could come out to learn the game. Rachel is out in Fort Saskatchewan visiting her dad with R. The meet up started at 6pm so I was actually able to come out on time. 

    Josh brings his kids to play, this time they played against each other, but he did mention that his eldest son has been in tournaments.

     I played against Nathan, who borrowed some Defenders of Helm's Deep from Josh to play with. I had brought my recently acquired Haradrim... why I didn't bring the stuff I painted up like, trolls or ringwraiths? Good question! I blame lack of sleep the previous night.

This was basically the whole game, a giant battle in the middle

    We played the Capture and Hold scenario from the core rule book. My cavalry came in big to capture the objectives, I believe it was 2 points for each held and I had 4 of the 5 by the end. Nathan did wound my leader with ranged fire, which got him a victory point. 

    Either way, I think we both had fun playing. There was an amazing shot at the end of the game. One of my archers tried to shoot at Theoden, he successfully made the shot, weaved the arrow through 3 different skirmishes between his target and wounded Theoden. However, it was the first time he was hit and Nathan used a Fate to shrug off the wound, still cool though!

Sentry Box Haul

     Well here it is, the anticipated Sentry Box haul and I was doing so good till now. I was close to zeroing out what I had bought at the beginning of the year. *sigh* Oh well, more painting!

    Rachel and I were able to visit Sentry Box during our kid's nap. Walking in it I felt like overwhelmed with the selection. 

Paint what you got mission that is.

    My local store, Comic Readers, and even Dragon's Den in Saskatoon mostly just carries Warhammer and Wizkids miniatures. Sentry Box carries Reaper, Osprey, Warlord games and more for miniatures. There is also an extensive used section for board games and minis, I could have send a while just looking at the Warhammer used section, but time was minimal. 

    First up, I picked up the Anus Hag Annis Hag from Wizkids. Oh wait, no this was from the Dragon's Den trip after Calgary. Well anyways, I thought she would be a good Killer for Don't Look Back.

    Browsing the Used GW section, I found some old orcs/goblin. I seem to be on a kick with this era of green skins, as I also picked up some with my New Years Eve shipment. Originally, I thought I'd paint them for a Heroquest living ruleset, but more realistically, a warband in Song of Blades and Heroes.

Variety of Deep Ones

    I really like Deep Ones, maybe they will be in Brawl Arcane 28 if the Shaman isn't too big.

Wererat, King Axehelm and Barrow Warden 3

    King Axehelm looks great, and I don't usually say that about dwarf models, they all feel a bit the same, but his pose really drew me in. Wererat could be for Frostrgave, as well as the Barrow Warden, as I do have an undead warband started.

    Rachel picked up Burrows & Badgers as well as a pirate mouse and some wizards. I picked up Into the Breeding Pit as I seem to be collecting Frostgrave supplements. Better start making a winter board to play it on.

    These Slaine packs were discounted to $15 each, I think they look fun to paint, but I am not certain what I'd play them in. Next time I go to Sentry Box I will pick up a box of something, instead of odds and ends. Oh well, I like all this but it was a bit more expensive buying it piece meal like this.

    I did paint something... well it was awhile ago.

Scunner and Gipse Danger

Time to find a city to tussle in. 

I do have some Tzeentch Pink Horrors and a Orgroid thaumaturge pretty much finished on the paint desk. Just need to snap some pictures of them.
